Hi I'm Sarah. I love beer and movies. And I have a theory that if you pair the right
drink to the right movie that it really enhances your experience of both. It's basically
immersive cinema for beer lovers. So without any further ado here is the Drinks Tube guide
to matching three classic movies with beer.
Rydell High there! Grease is the word and
this is the beer. This is Lindeman's Kriek, this is a lambic style beer which means it
is a fruit beer with spontaneous fermentation. This is the perfect drink to have whilst watching
Grease because it's sweet and lovely but it's also got a rebelious side. When you pour this
beer you'll see that its pink and sweet and fluffy. And it smells very sweet like good
Sandy. Then when you taste it, it's tart and sour and edgy just like bad Sandy. In the
movie Danny orders a polar burger with a cherry soda and chocolate ice cream. So this is gonna
be just like you're enjoying that with him at high school.
I am hopelessly devoted to you
Back to the future is a classic American movie and this beer is a classic America IPA
This is Racer Five by Bear Republic. So this is gonna be the perfect beer to drink whilst
watching Back to the Future because it's got loads of American hops but it's really classic
IPA style. So it's gotta be like listening to Johnny Be Good in nineteen fifty five.
Never opened a beer on a hover board before, lets see how this goes. As you can see, super
classic IPA with a lovely head on it which is what happens when you try to pour beer
on a hover board, who knew? So when you smell this beer it's really piney on the nose thanks
to the hops. So that's gonna make you feel like it's one fifteen outside twin pine's
mall and you're waiting for the doc to come along in the DeLorean. But hopefully there'll
be no Libyan terrorists about. It's also got a hell of a lot of grapefruit and citrus which
is really zippy and zingy, much like being on a hover board. So if this has all been
a load of rubbish to you and you have no idea what I'm talking about, go watch Back to the
Future and drink Racer Five IPA. Now make like a tree and get out of here.
Jaws is the
ultimate tale of salty terror, so what perfect beer to pair with that then the only salty
style you'll get your hands on, a Gose. Check out that great white head. So Gose is a traditional
German style that incorporates salt and coriander into the brew. Gose is a pretty traditional
German style but you can't find it a lot anywhere, Westbrook do a fantastic version. It's always
really salty and it's got that sort of coriander hit which is quite summery in a way. Then
there's the sharp sort of undertone, but you're not quite sure what it is. It could be quite dangerous.
This is gonna be the perfect beer to have whilst watching Jaws because it's
got that real saltiness about it. Much like the air when you're out at sea, looking for the Shark
Can anyone else hear that.
Seriously can anyone else hear that.
(Screams)
So that was my guide to beer and movie matching and the best thing about it is the possiblilties
are basically endless. But go an have a go yourself and come back here and tell us in
the comments what matches really work. Don't forget to subscribe to Drinks Tube. It's free.
